I've also noticed this problem, but with old python directories
lingering after upgrades.
For example, on my upgraded-from-ages-ago Fedora 35 Workstation
machine, I still had empty directory trees for old pythons, i.e.
directory trees containing empty "package" directories and empty
__pycache__ directories in
/usr/lib{,64}/python3.{7,8,9}/site-packages/
Looks like a missing file / directory ownership problem in some python packages.
